AFTER THE ANNOUNCEMENT.
The announcement OF the Governor de-
cision in the Anarchist case soread ike
wild-fire this evening and the greatest ex'
element naturallyiprevailed.
Misrepresentation had been INDUCED in
dpripg the day, and since noon the inn
preston had been prevalent that
s ss sosd be Sf ps1SsR and
possible that of Spies and Parsons.
The decision cannot be said to have been
by any means q surprise here, and it is no
exaggerstion. to say that the Governors ac-
ton meets with general approval. Since
the public announcement of the decision
the Governor has remained in his study at
the mansion, and Is engaged this evening
in considering the great volume OF public
business which has accumulated while the
all-absorbing pardon case was pending. He
is evidently giving, no heed whatever to
the great v0lnme OF threatening letters he
has received, as the lights are shining
brightly from the windows of the Execu-
tive Mansion. and everything has its
wonted appearance. Four policemen are,
however. keeping a sharp lookout around
the mansion, aud will doubtless continue
to do so nightly until some time after the
execution of the condemned.
OF the four or five of the Anarchists
friends who remained IN the city over TO-
day, all but one or two left on the o'clock
ceivlng the news OF the Governors de-
cision. Representative Roherbach and
President Oliver, OF the Amnesty Aassoci-
alton, were first informed of the decision
immediately after its announcement, aud
depressed great astonishment that more OF
the condemned men had not received
clemency. Roherbach and Oliver could
hardly credit the news, and when EN-.
phatlcally informed of its authenticity
appeared downcast, and refused at once
express any further opinion on the su
ject. George chilling expressed mingled
disappointment and disgust on hearing
the news, but prudently abstained from
any forcible expressions of opinion. His
chaerin was more apparent in his action
than in his words, and he too, after fully
aprreciating the import of the intelligence,
leaped into stubbornly uncommunica-
tive state. The last of the Anarchists
friends left for Chicago on the midnight
train.
1t is learned at late hour tonight that
Captain Black has wired Schilling to re-
main in Springfield, as he Black will ar
rive here in the morning at $50 to appear
before the Governor and urge a stay in
the execution of Parsons on the ground
that the latter is insane, and has been for
many months, and is not responsible for
his acts. He will also make q plea for
Spies. and in fact for all of the condemned
men. Certain it is that Black will arrive
here in the morning, and that Schilling
has remained over to meet him and Join
In the plea to the Governor. SchiIling
was approached by an Associated Press re-
porter late tonight, but positively refused
to be interviewed or answer any questions
whatever relating to the subject. He did
not deny the authenticity of the report.
